Those Sacred Days: DiS meets The Kinks' Dave Davies

DD: "And as for the songs themselves,
they’ve lasted the years fairly unscathed. It’s very human music. They
still mean something. I mean, I was at Glastonbury last year when Ray
was playing and people all around were in tears, me included, I’m not
ashamed to say…"

DD: "Ray and I have spoken recently about doing
something. But we’re not really…. (Long, Long Pause) It would be nice. I
don’t know what; I think people might be surprised about what we’d have
in mind. But we’ll let you know!"

Happy New Year from The Nordic fansOnly a couple of minutes into this year and we have Ray Davies
first appearance on the main norwegian tv-channel, NRK1. Here is a
link to the same concert on BBC.

to be or not to be an individual
"I think there's a dangerthat musical aspirations
might get trapped in a bubble of mass media acceptance. It's the desire to be on
TV over the fact that you want to say something and
be an individual. I think if it's accepted that it's
just a popular TV show ['The
X Factor' in England and 'American
Idol' in America] that's fine. I'd like to think that there are young
musicians growing up and evolving all over the world, that they're not
influenced by it and are just going to do their thing."
